3. Calcium phosphate is one of the two main compounds that can precipitate out of urine to form kidney stones. The Ksp of calcium phosphate is 2.07 x 10 33 a) What is the molar solubility of calcium phosphate? b) If the Ca2 concentration in a person's urine is 150 mg/L, what concentration of phosphate in the urine (in mg/L) would be necessary for calcium phosphate to precipitate? c) The Ksp value given above is for room temperature (25 °C). Would you expect your answer to part b) to be larger or smaller for the precipitation reaction taking place at body temperature (37 °C)? Explain your answer in 1-2 sentences. 3.
